Development of the mathematical model for surface topography quality determination at the end milling process
As a metal machining process, end milling is the most widely used processes in industry. One of the most important indicators of success in finishing operation is the estetic quality of the surface that is directly connected to the maximal height of uneven surfaces, namely rougness. In process of milling the quality of the machined surface depends of many factors, for example, tool geometry, cutter parallel axis offset and cutter axis tilt, tool deflection due to cutting forces, tool and work piece vibrations etc. This paper presents the development of mathematical model for the determination of the quality of the machined surface topography. The model starts from an ideal trochoid point trajectory on the cutting edge tooth end mill, and then inserts the deviations due to cutter parallel axis offset and cutter axis tilt and gives instructions for the input of other factors that influence on the machined surface quality. Also it compares the values of maximal roughness height with different mill axis positions, and on different mill cross section heights, as well as the differences at up and down milling
Regenerating the NC code in order to improve the surface quality

The paper presents the research results of the impact of variable machining parameters: feed and spindle speed on surface roughness of Aluminium alloy 6005-T6, at CNC in the up and down milling with tools of different dimensions and different materials (Ø6 HSS, Ø6 VHM and Ø10 VHM). The properties and classification of Aluminium alloys are cited. The definition of surface roughness at end milling is given and parameters that affect it are specified. It was concluded that the feed is the parameter that has the most influence on surface roughens, while the lowest roughness is achieved by up milling. Correlation equations have provided good prediction of surface roughness in the case of machining of VHM by cutter Ø10. The results of the experiment will serve as an input into the model for control of input parameters of the machining process by regeneration of NC code for the purpose of quality improvement of machined surface
